	Sex Abuse Cover-up by L.A. Catholic Archdiocese Is Alleged By John Aravosis AMERICAblog September 21, 2009 http://gay.americablog.com/2009/09/sex-abuse-cover-up-by-la-catholic.html Good thing the Catholic church isn't spending millions of dollars beating the crap out of gays in some kind of modern-day Inquisition in state after state. Otherwise we might think they were rather hypocritical for yet again enabling pedophilia and the rape of children while at the same time wasting their own parishioners' money on some faux-moral crusade bashing loving gay adult couples who simply want to spend their lives together. At what point does this stop being a church and start being a criminal conspiracy? We are talking pedophilia here. And it's clear that this "church" never quite got the message that raping children is a bad thing. The fact that these perverts who protected these other perverts remain in power in the church speaks volumes about the level of moral corruption in the Catholic leadership. Just how many children have to be raped before the Catholic leadership in America and Rome take pedophilia seriously? Maybe it's time we added prison sentences for the enablers as well. The former vicar of clergy for the Archdiocese of Los Angeles testified this week under oath that Cardinal Roger Mahony ordered him in 2000 not to contact police about allegations of sexual abuse by a priest. In deposition papers filed Friday as part of a civil case, Msgr. Richard Loomis also testified that Mahony ordered him not to inform parishes of allegations against the now defrocked Rev. Michael Baker. In 2007, Baker was sent to state prison for 10 years after his conviction on molestation charges. He has been called before a federal grand jury investigating how the archdiocese handled priest abuse cases.
